The Baby Sleeps
Beautiful, sweet, simple text that tugs at the heartstrings and has all the hallmarks of a classic.
Amid the city's bustle, the baby sleeps. On an island in an ocean, the baby sleeps. On our blue and spinning planet, the baby sleeps.
But when she wakes...
She doesn't need the stars, nor the sky, nor the cars cruising by...
This sweet bedtime read tugs at the heartstrings and is a classic in the making.
The perfect picture book:
- for bedtime
- reassuring your children about love
- finding treasures in the images together
